《The Throne》40

"Will they like me?" Christen asks.
It's a month before our wedding and Christen and I are going to look at our wedding venue one last time before our wedding. Christen is also meeting my Mum's siblings for the first time.
"Yes baby they will." I say as we pull up to the Althorp Estate.
Once we park I get out of the car and go around to open Christen's door.
"Thank you." Christen says when she gets out of the car.
The two of us walk hand-in-hand to the door then we are let in by my Uncle Charles.
"Hey Anna. It's good to see you." Uncle says and hugs me.
"It's good to see you too Uncle Charles." I say.
"Come on we can do introductions in the drawing room."
The three of is then walk to the drawing room where my two aunts are sitting.
"Hey Aunt Sarah...Hey Aunt Jane." I say and hug them.
"Hi Anna." Aunt Sarah says.
"Congrats Sweetie." Aunt Jane says
"Thanks." I say then I pull Christen into my side. "Well Aunt Sarah, Aunt Jane, and Uncle Charles this is my Fiancée Christen Press...Christen these are my aunts and Uncle's."
"Nice to meet all of you." Christen says then she's pulled into a hug by my aunt's.
The four of us talk and get to know each other for awhile until Christen whispers in my ear.
"Where's the bathroom." Christen asks
"Down that hall. 3rd door on your right." I say then my fiancée heads toward the bathroom.
While Christen is gone I talk with my aunts and uncle about some things for the wedding and they agree to everything.
"Can I take you somewhere?" I ask Christen when she returns from the bathroom

"Of course." Christen says and intertwines our hands.
I lead her up two flights of stairs to a private wing of the Estate where the Families bedrooms are. Once we get there I unlock a door, we step inside, then I lock it back when we step inside. We then walk to the end of the hall and I unlock the door and lead Christen inside then lock the door.
"Where are we?" Christen asks causing me to sigh.
"My Mum's bedroom." I say.
"Oh."
"I need to show you something."
"Alright.
I walk over to a hidden panel in the wall and push on it. The panel reveals a safe and I input the code which opens the safe to reveal a locked box that only I and my aunts and uncle have the key to.
"Come here." I say as I put the box on the table.
Christen comes over and I open the box to reveal the contents of the box.
"Oh my." Christen says.
"This is the tiara my Mum wore for her wedding." I say.
"It's beautiful."
"Christen?"
"Yes Baba?"
"I'd like you to wear it on our wedding day."
"W-what?"
"You're my princess and on the day we marry you will become my queen and I want you to have a tiara fit for a queen."
"A-Are you sure."
"100 percent."
"Okay." Christen says.
I put on the gloves to handle it then I grab the tiara and have a little moment with it before I place it on top of my future wife's head.
"H-How's it look?" Christen asks.
I take a picture so she can see then step closer to her.
"Perfect." I say and show my girl the picture.

"I look like a queen." Christen mumbles.
"Because you are." I say and look into the eyes of my girl. "And you always will be."
"I love you Anna." Christen says.
"I love you Christen." I say then I softly kiss my girl which swiftly turns very heated.
After Christen and I come up for air I take the tiara off my future wife's head and place it back in the box, lock it up, put it back in the safe, then put the safe back in the panel in the wall. Christen and I head back down to where my Aunts and Uncle are then I tell them about the tiara and my Aunts and Uncle tell us they'll have it polished up in time for the wedding. My Fiancée and I then head out to look at the grounds and look over where the ceremony will take place and where the reception/after party will take place.
"This place is so beautiful." Christen says as we walk hand-in-hand around the Estate.
"Yeah." I say.
"Did you come here a lot as a kid?"
"Yeah." I say with a smile. "Mummy would take my brothers and I here some during the summers.........I wish you could've met her."
"Me too Baba." Christen says. "I wish you could've met my Mom."
"So do I." I say as we get to my least favorite part of the estate which causes me to stop walking.
My Mum's burial island
Christen keeps on walking, but she stops when she feels me not moving.
"Baba what's wrong?" Christen asks.
"I have to do something." I say.
I let go of Christen's hand and walk down to the water then I get in a waiting canoe and start rowing to the island.
"Wait." Christen says and she tries to follow me, but I hear someone stop her.
"Let her go." My aunt Jane says as I start paddling out to the island
As I row over to the island I barely hear Christen talking to my Aunt.
"Where's she going?" Christen asks.
"She's going to talk to her Mum." Aunt Jane says.
"Oh."
I continue rowing over to the island then, when I hit the shore, I carefully get out of the canoe and walk to my Mum's grave. Once at the grave I sit down next to it and stare at my Mummy's tombstone.
"Hi Mummy." I say and run my hand over her grave. "I gave that ring to My forever like you told me too."
I try not to break down, but ultimately I do.
"I really wish you could meet her Mummy. She's so beautiful, so free, so joyful, so bubbly, so happy, so...perfect."

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14

Out of the Motherland
Russia, 1941. Operation Barbarossa. Winter has set in and the German advance is stalling before Moscow. Temperatures are dropping as the promised end to the Russian invasion has not arrived. The winter is the coldest of the century, and German troops are freezing as they push themselves through the snow towards the enemy. Meanwhile, dissent stirs among the German ranks and on their home front. Karl Tesdorpf, a captain in the 30. Infanterie-Division, is caught between his family and the Schutzstaffel - he escapes, but becomes a fugitive among his own allies. Russia, 1941. Western Front. The Soviet frontlines have been overrun again and again. Their great people are completely on the defensive. While reserves are brought in to stem the German forces, the troops on the front line are left with limited supplies and support. Whole Soviet armies are wiped out as they are surrounded and cut off, and for the troops on the ground and in the air victories are few and far between. Amid this chaos, his rifle division reduced to a tenth of their size by enemy armour, Oryl Denikin walks away from the conflict. He heads home, into German-occupied territory, but he is soon to find that his motherland is no longer the place he knew and lived. As both sides funnel their resources into the second great war in a generation, trying to force the other to break first, millions upon millions of men are caught in the middle. This is the tale of just two of them. Dedicated to Gerhard, of #55 - the reason this story exists.
